Collection:
Dust Bowl Migration Digital Archives.
This collection consists of a series of fifty-seven oral history interviews that developed from the California Odyssey Project’s Oral History Program funded in 1980 by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The interviews focus on residents who migrated to the San Joaquin Valley from Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas between 1924 and 1939.
